Although Medea does hint at Lars Von Trier's vast talent, it is no masterpiece as some have suggested. It is beautifully filmed but that does not make up for a very slow-paced story. Also, for me personally, it was hard to accept the fact that ancient Greece bears such a striking resemblance to Western Denmark. And why on earth does the king live in a sewer? It has to be said, though, that Ludmilla Glinska is adorable as Glauce.
